THE COAL ROAD "QUESTION. ISTERESTINO FACTS A.JI FIGCRI3.

To the Editor of the .Tonrna! : Having visited Cleveland and Buffalo to as certain facts relative to coal, I will st.te some ' of the more material for your use, that yoa may put them in proper snaps for publication. The su?2,ctioi of the Journal that the Council and the Board of Trade should invefctl ?ate Ih? facts at different points seems to me raoat judicious. Cleveland and Buffalo are rivals of about. equal population, wealth and advantages, be ing in numbers about 120.000 each, and bavin ir each wealth equal to three or four tinpa that of Indianapolis. I And that these cities have neither of them ever donated a dollar to coal roads, or any other railroads, and do not, propose to. Durincr the last two years these cities have been nourishirtc lnt no more in proportion than Ir.diqnapolif, if so much bo. In 1871 Cleveland consumed about four times as much coal as Indianapolis. In all three of the cities the retail coal dealer claims the right to make a profit of about two cents n bushel: in short, claim the same risrbt I to acquire a competence as in the other pur sutts or lire. In Indianapolis, just before the horse disease changed the rates of delivery, the items of charge on block coal were as follows : I?ailroad freight charffes. per bushel 3V cents. Chiracs at the mines loaded on the car. per nusnei 11 " Unloading, yardage and wastage per bnshel.....: IV " Delivering per bushel cartage 2 " Profit for capital, oftice hire, clerki, and seryicea aim risks or dealer 2 " Making per bnshel 20 " The bituminous coal costs two cents less per bushel. It ought to be explained that for manufacturing purposes slack coal is delivered at Indiarjnpohs at the mill as low as eight cents p?r bushel. In Cleveland and Buffalo thev do not talk of bushel but. of tons. Our block coal is Faid to be bushels to the ton, but of coarse in that coals will vary. Then at retail, block coal willne here per top, ?. 74. At Cleveland on Mahoning ccal by retail, the items are 8 follows : Tost at the mines per ton $3 M I reieht by railroad 1 40 Yardage, Inclndin? hiuling to yard .V) Delivering in the city ! f Losi by screening 45 Profit 50 Total per ton f G 50 Twelve years ago coal sold at S2 75 a ton wholesale, now at $5. Freight by canal was then 75 cents a ton, sow ?1 75; bv railroad then as much as now; mining then 50 cent?; now si 5 per ton. Al' hough Cleveland has never made dona tions, she h?s taken stock in railroads for general purposes. In the middle of this month a vote will be taken whether Cleveland 6hall subscribe f 1,000,000, 89 stock and not as a donation, to the Valley Railroad, striking south from Cleveland. The thirty miles in Cuyahoga county will, if in?de, belong- absolutely to Cleveland. it is unuertooo: thit south of thin thirty miles there Is S00.0C0 of reliable individual stock subscribed, and that the road goes through a good country, and will extend through Akron and Canton and make valuable railroad connections. It is also assumed that the owners of the long end of the road will lease this thirty miles and run it, and will, after a short time, buy It. The law requires twothirds of all the votes cast to bind the citv. This Is expected to be a valuable road for gen eral purposes, and although it strikes the same coal field now on the canal, it will reach different and more valuable parts, and will reach a coal, coarse but valuable for manufacturing purposes. There is no proposed rate of freight, but the competition is expected to be valua ble to the city, and some or the coal lying within forty miles of Cleveland is expected to cost eighty cents a ton for freight by thi3 road. There is no irter.tion to carry on this road except at the usual rates of profit. This coal will be cheaper by $1 a ton than that which is brought from Mahoning Valley, which is too good for steam purposes. At Buffalo it is estimated that the bitumin ous coal used is sixty per cent., leaving a large ameunt of anthracite. The anthracite retails there at ?7 per ton. The bituminous coal from Northern Pennsyl vania costs as follows: Freight per ton by railroad S3 fO Cofct at miuea 2 00 Handling and yardage 50 Cartnge... 50 Profit to retailer 50 Cost per ton $7 10 The lowest price in bituminous slack coal for steam purposes in Buffalo is $3 50 per ton, delivered at the mill; whereas the lowest price ior buck coai in Indianapolis is i-i 5 per ton, delivered at the mill. The Alleghany Valley railroad, however. through Erie, bringing coal about 00 miles, charges freight f'-J 50 per ton, and this coal sens at ?5 only at Uululo, being smuttv and used for steam coal. Buffalo has, by virtue of an act of March 25. 1S72, subscribed as stock and not by douation, 11,000,000 to a road runningsouth towards Titusville and the oil regions, ller subscription is in 6even per cent, bonds running twenty years. The road will go through a good country and connect with o her roads, and although it reaches coal and other heavy freights, the maiu inducement is to make it an oil road. The city does not manage her interest thiough her Council but by a board of citizens appointed bp the act, and vacancies are to be filled by apf ointmcnt by the Superior Court of Buffalo, ndividuals and towns have taken stock outside of Buffalo, and the whole cost of the road will be about six millions. This statement is as accurate as I am able to make it, but there ought to be a more thorough examination of the facts at these and other cities. Y. STAGE THUNDER WITH A VENGEANCE. Some fifty years ago one Lee, manager of the Edinburg theater, with a view of improving the thunder of his stage, ventured upon a return to the Elixabethean system of representing a storm. His enterprise was attended with results at once hideous and disastrous, lie placed ledges here and there along the back of his stage, and, obtaining a parcel of ninepound cannon-balls, packtd these in a wheelbarrow, which the carpenter was instructed to wheel to and fro over the ledges. The play was "Lear," and the jolting of the heavy barrow, as it was trundled along the uneved path over the hollow stage, and the rumblings and reveberations thus produced counterfeited most effectively the 1 aging of the tempest in the third act. Unfortunately, however, while the king was braving, in front of the scene,the pitiless storm at the back, the carpenter, misfcing bis footing, tripped over one of the ledges and fell, wheelbarrow, cannon-balls and all. The atage being on a declivity, the cannonballs came rollmg rapidly and noisily down toward the front, gathering force as they advanced and overcoming the feeble resistance offered by the scene, struck it down, passed over its pros ti ate form, and made their way toward the footlights and the tiddlers, amid the amusement and wonder of the audience, and the amazement and alarm of the Lear of the night. As the nine-pounders advanced towards him, and rolled about in all directions, he was compelled to display an activity in avoiding thcuj singularly inappropriate to the age and condition of the character he was personating, lie was even said to resemble a dancer achieving the ternsicorean feat known as the egg-hornpipe. Presently, too, the musicians became alarmed for the safety of themselves and their instruments, and deemed it advisable to scale the pike partition which divided them from the pit, for the cannon-balls were upon them, smashing the lamps and falling heavily into the orchestra. Meanwhile, exposed to the fall gaze of the house, lay prone b3 side his etuftj barrow, the carpenter, the innocent provoker of the storm he had been unable to allay or direct, not At all hurt, but exceedingly frightened and bewildered. After the unlucky experiment the management abandoned his wheel-barrow and cannon-balls, and reverted to more received methods of producing stage storms.

MR. STANLEY AND HIS SERVANTS.

X SENSATION" IXCIDENT. 'Listen to me, Shaw, and you, Farquhar. Ever since jou left the coast you have had donkeys to ride. You have had servants to wait upon you; your tents have been set up for you; your roeals hare been cooked for you; jouhave eaten with me of the same food I have eaten; you have received the same treatment I have received. Bat now aU Farquhar's donkeys are dead; even of my own have died, and I have had to throw away a few things in order to procure carriage for the most important goods. Farquhar is too sl:k to walk, he must have a donkey to ride; in yet a few days all our animals will be dead, after which I must have either over twenty more pagazls to take up the goods, or wait weeSs and weeks for carriage. Yet in the face of these things you can grumble, and curse, and swear at me at my own table. Have you cousideied well your position? Do you realize where you are? Do you know that you are my servant, sir, and not my companion?" 'Servant be," said he. But before .Mr. Shaw could finish his sentence, he had measured his length on the greund. "Is it necessary for me to proceed further to teach you?" I asked. 'I tell you what it is, sir," he replied, raising h'rubelf up. ,4I think I had better go back. I have had enough, and I do not mean to go any farther with you. I ask my discharge from you." Oh, certainlv. "What, who is there? Bombay, come here." After Bombay's appearance at the tent door, I said to him, ""Strike that man's tent" (pointing to Shaw). "He wants to go back. Bring bis gun and pistol here to my tent, and take this man and his baggage two hundred yards outside of tho camp, and there leave him." In a few moments his tent was down, his gun and pistol in my tent, and Bombay returned to make his report, with four men under arms. "Now , go, sir. You are at perfect liberty to go. These men will escort vou out of the carip, and leave you and your baggage. He walked out, the men escorting him, and carrying his baggage for him. After breakfast I began to explain to Farquhar how necessary it was to me to be able to proceed; that I had plenty of trouble v. ithout having to think of men who were employed to think of me and their duties; that as L? was sick, and would probably be unable to march for a time, it would be better if I should leave h?m in tome quiet place, under the care of a good Chief, who would.for a consideration, look after him ntil he got well. To all of which FarquVar agreed. I had scarcely tnished speaking before Bombay came to the tent door saying, "Mr. Shaw would like to speak to you." I went out to the gate of the camp, and there met Shaw, locking extremely penitent and ashamed. He commenced to ask my pardon, and beiran imploring me to take him back, and promising that I should never find fault with him again. I held out m7 hand, saying, "Don't mention it, my dear fellow. Quarrels occur in the best of families. Siaee you apologize there is an end to it. That niht, as I was about falling asleep, I heard a shot, icd a bullet tore through my tei.t a few inches above my body. I snatched my revolvers, and rushed out of my tent, and asked the mei around the watch-fires, "Who shot?" They had all jumped up, rather startled at thi sudden report. "Who fired that gun?" One said, the "Bana Mdogo" little master. I lit a candle, and walked with it to Shaw's tent. "Shaw, did you fire?" There was no answer. He seemed to be asleep, he was breathing so hard. "Shaw! Staw! did you fire that shot?" "Eh eh?" said he suddenly awakening "me? me lire? I have been asleep." My eye caugrt sight of his gun lying near him. I seized it felt it put my little finger down the barrel. The gun was wa:m; my finger was black from the burnt gunpowder! "What isthie?" I asked, holding my finger up; "the gm is warm. The men tell me you fired." "Ah! ye" he replied, "I remember it. I dreamed I -aw a thief pass my door, and I fired. Ah! jes; I forgot, I did fire. Why, what is tho matter?" 'Oh! nothing," I said; "but I would advise you in future, in order to avoid all suspicion, not to lire into my tent, or at least so near me. I might pet hurt, you know, in which case ugly reports would get about, and this perhaps, would be disagreeable, as you are probably aware. G d night." We all iad our thoughts about this matter; but I never uttered a word about it to any one until I net Livingstone. The Doctor embodied my suspicions in the words, "He intended murder!'" MONTANA VS. MISSOURI. A CnARlCTERISTIC "FAR AVEST" EDITORIAL. IFroin the Weekly Montanlan.l The astute Puke of the Missouri Republican, in a recent issue, speaks very disparagingly of Montana as au agricultural country, and grossly (we presume ignorantly) misrepresents our agricultural results of the past season by saying, in substance, that the grasshoppers devoured our fields of graiu and grass to such an extent tLat there is nothing now left but bowlders and quartz mills to feed upon. Nothing can be further from the truth, Mr. Republican, aadifvouhud even but carelessly informed j-onrseii on the subject yoa might have known thai Montana farmers have this year gathered a more bountiful harvest than in any previous year since the settlement of the Territory. The extensive wheat fields of Montana have this year fully averaged forty bushels to the acre, aud to-day flour Is selling at 13 per 100 pounds. The enormous crop of oats, rye, barley and potatoes produced this j ear has brought these staples down to States' prices; we have a glutted produce mirket at any figures, end could put fat on the ribs of fifty thousand people for the next year to come, with the surplus supply on hand. Your editorial stupidity surprises us. Are you quite sure yuu did not write "MontanA" fir "Missouri" in your item? How is it with "Old Misery," anyhow? We have lived in the Sta:e a number of years, aDd believe we know her about as well as you. It is a wellknown fact that Missouri farmers cannot eouut on a full crop oftener than once in three years one year the corn crop falls; the next year thtre is no wheat to speak of and so your farmers go on from year to year, wilh success as uncertain as a Missouri editor's spiritual salvition. From personal knowledge we t!o state that the counties on the north side of the Missouri River were obliged to send to Iowa last spring for their seed corn, and have not this year gathered from it sufficient for seed tha coming season. Missouri, when wet, is the wetto6t; when dry, is the dryest; w hen hot, is the hottest; and when she cets a big disagreeable on is the d est country a man ever emigrated from. As to grasshoppers, Montana has not been at all afflicted with them the past season, and for the past two or three years has suffered from only a few forlort, half-starved, fever-and-ague specimens, which, unable to keep body and soul together by devouring the 6mall morsel raised in Missouri, follow the emigrant wagons across the plains from that State, gleefully singing: We arc poing to a country that's far across the lea. To live in pcact aiid plenty, and away from Mia-c-r y Where little tigs are standing guard over every hill of grain. To keep the stalks from floating off with an old Missouri rain. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. An immense coal depot for New England is about to be established at East Providence, Rhode Island, a tract of 05 acres having been purchased for the purpose by one of the largest Pennsylvania coal companies. Extensive docks will form part of the projected enterprise. Every one knows that the price of coal has advanced considerably in England, but the precise change in value is not so generally understood. This is indicated by the following comparative statement of the price of coal an delivered at the pit'a mouth, in the neighbor-

hood of Wigan, in November, 1S71, and in October this year: November, 1871. October, 1S72. Four-feet Wigan coal SI 56 $3 7i per ton Five feet Wigan coal. 141 3 CO per ton Six-feet Wigan coal 1 32 3 K0 per t n Burgie 96 3 24 per ton Best engine slack 32 2 94 per ton Second engine slack (IS 83 per ton These rates re, however, by no means fixed; fluctuailans being frequent. The extraordinary wealth procured annually by Great Britain from her mines gives some Idea of what may be realized by the development of our mineral treasures. The annual return for 1871, of the mineral product of Great Britain shows 2,700 coal mines produced 117,352,023 tons of coal, valued at $177,02 8 040 (gold 15 to the pound sterling;) 210 irons ton o mines produced 16.334,83 tons of iron ore, valued at f 38,362,950; 123 copper mines produced 97,127 tons of copper ore, valued at $1,935,590; 145 tin mines produced 16,272 tons of tin ore, valued at $5,154,170; 241 lead mines produced 93,905 tons of lead ore, valued at 5,778,850; and 47 zinc mines produced 17,736" tons of zinc ore, valued at $281,650. The total vilue of the mineral produce of the United Kingdom, in 1871, was $237,472,000. The metals ohtoined from the ores is valued at f 100,S9S,SGO. and the values of the metals not smelted $185.710,C15-total, $2S6.500,405. This docs not include building stones, lime, slatess common clay and and brick earths. A good hint is supplied to the managers of American museums and industrial collections by the action of the Directors of the Crystal Palace, LoDdon, who have decided to establish practical engineering classes with a view of extending the usefulness of their valuable collections of models and machinery. One of the proposed courses of study will be devoted to the study of mechanical drawing, another to pattern-making and fcundry work, and a third to fitting and smiths' work. While the students are employed in the drawing office, they will be engaged in making drawings of machinery and constructions from skeehes, c tracing, and getting out quantities and estimates, and in calculating the strength of materials. In the pattern shops they will be employed in preparing patterns or models of engines and machinery; in the fitting shop, in fitting and erecting engines from three to six-horse power, or other suitable work for the market; in the" smiths' shop and foundry, in forging, molding, and preparing small castings. Lecture on engineering subjects will be delivered twice a week. THE QUEEN OF HOLLAND. The Queen of Holland, who has been visiting England, is one of the most accomplished women in Europe. 8he is a first-rate French scholar, has been successful in literature, and is noted as a woman of esprit. She is a fervent hater of the Germans, and a keen supporter of the Bonapartes. It does not appear, however, that she has been to England on any political errand, but it may be well imagined that something more than pleasuse nas taken her over at the dull season.
